A Man Apart (2003)

Wonderful Movie

Thanks for the memories!

Better Late Then Never

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A man known as Diablo emerges to head a drug cartel after the previous leader is imprisoned. A Man Apart is an ambitious action/drama that i think was mistaken from both critics and viewers alike. Vin Diesel's perfomance as a cop who lost his wife and seeks revenge was captivating and both the drama and the action was a good mix in my opinion plus i loved the soundtrack and the direction from F. Gary Grey was also very good. It's not a movie for everyone but some people will definitely enjoy it. (A+)

had high expectations for this film, but was somewhat disappointed. The movie was too predictable. Some scenes in the film are not understood, like why would diablo kill his own wife and kids or did he kill them or not... The main character Sean would go to any lengths 'cos his wife got killed but shows no remorse when 3 of the officers who also may be somebody's loved one get killed when he lost control. I'm not sure what the endgame for the movie is, initially the story line seemed to be to stop drug trafficking, in the end i'm confused... so what exactly was achieved?? the casting... it's like nobody really clicks together... in fast and furious when Letty is killed and Dom goes after the killers, i'm moved, its believable, it seems justified. In this one it seems like just another scene to form a plot. It was still entertaining especially the shooting scenes.

Action packed thriller dealing with the drug cartels in Mexico and elsewhere which permeate chaos in the United States.Catching a major drug king-pin costs Vin Diesel his wife when the former extracts revenge.Overwhelmed by the killing of his wife, Diesel becomes an out of the control cop and his actions prove deadly to 3 fellow police officers.The film would have been a better one had we gotten a clearer picture from the inside regarding these cartels. When one falls, another one is ready to take their place and appear to be more dangerous and violent than their predecessors.The film does show cohesiveness among the group of narcotic agent police in working together. There is certainly a camaraderie that exists among them. I just wish the film would have shown cohesiveness, other than becoming a shooting gallery in the never ending violence-cycle.

A to-the-point film of a DEA Agent, Sean Vetter, (Vin Diesel) trying to hunt down those responsible for the death of his wife.In order to do this he must get the information he needs from an imprisoned drug baron named Memo Lucero (Geno Silva), who he had captured.But unknown to Vetter, Memo has an agenda of his own...I first saw Diesel in Pitch Black. From then onwards I watched any film of his I could find. Namely: XXX, The Knockaround Guys, Chronicles Of Riddick and The Pacifier.His acting in all these movies is superb. Any if you are a big fan of his, add all the above movies including this one to your DVD collection.In A Man Apart, Diesel plays his most emotionally intense role. Complementing him in the film is veteran actor Juan Fernández who plays the drug baron Memo Lucero. Not to forget to mention the excellent Timothy Olyphant.Verdict 10/10
